	abstract     = {This thesis aims to identify the optimal ways in which natural language generation techniques can be brought to bear upon the problem of  processing a structured body of information in  order to devise a coherent presentation of text content in multiple languages. We investigate how chains of referential expressions are  realized in English, Swedish and Hebrew, and   suggest several coreference strategies that can be used to generate coherent descriptions about paintings. The suggested strategies focus on the need to produce paragraph-sized written natural language descriptions from formal structured representations presented in the Semantic Web. We account for principles of coreference by introducing a new modularized approach to automatically generate chains of referential expressions from ontologies. We demonstrate the feasibility of the approach by implementing a system where a Semantic Web domain ontology serves as the background knowledge representation and where
the language-specific coreference strategies are incorporated. The system uses both the principles of discourse structures and coreference strategies to guide the generation process. We show how the system successfully generates coherent, well-formed descriptions in multiple languages.},
